Mr.. Pendleton has said that American
newspapers have more war news from
Germany, from France, from Austria, from
RussiR, from Bulgaria than appears in all
the papers of Berlin put together" Judg-
ing from the foreign dispatches, and the
failure to act on the part of those nations
of which the news treats, Mr.. Pendleton is
justified in his statement. The "euter-
prise" of the American news-gatherer and
his desire to make his journal the liveli-
est" leads him to give greater Importance
to events and expressions in Europe than
truth justifes. If the news dispatches
from Europe during the past month had
not been in the main reportorial specula-
ton, the Powers by this time must have
been in the midst of the bloodiest of con-
tests for mastery. There certainly is dis
trust and fear among the nations of Eu-
rope to-day, greater than have been mani
fest since 1870, but there is nothing as yet
to warrant the assumption that war is i'm
minent. 1t may come late in the spring,
but Just now the situation is one of armed
neutrality, of armored fear of each other.
OF profound anxiety lest there shall be war,
and beneath all the activity and express
sion in monarchies there is discoverable
fear of the masses by the rulers, greater
than any they have of each other The
solitary exception is found in France
where the bare suggestion of conflict
with Germany has done more to solidify
the republic than anything nalI therange
of political events since 1870.

TELEPHoSING WITH BARBED WIRE
The favorite telephone line of n. d. Ride
out between this city and Sacramento, has
been in bad working order since the be-
ginning of the last rains. ana few days
since J. D. Cashin and assistants were sent
down the line. They got as far as Bear
river, where it was found that over half
mile of the wire was missing at point in
the bed of the stream. Knowing that the
use of the line was desired at once, and not
having time TO come to Marysviile to se-
cure wire, he thought TO try novel means.
He dragged the ends to barbed wire fence
near the railroad track and attached them
to it. Upon returning here yesterday af-
ternoon he asked the employees at the bank
how the wire was working, and they said
that it was doing fine. When he informed
them that their messages were passing over
half mile of barbed wire it cause look
of wonderment to come over their faces
This is the first feat Of the kind which has
been recorded-Marysrile Appeal.

it should be resorted to at an early stage,
there will be no reason to apprehend those
injurious subsequent effects upon the sys-
TEN often entailed by entirely cured dis

safe remedial agent in fever and ague, and
other malarial complaints. than quinine

they do prove efectual for time, ruin the
stomach and impair the general health.

WIN Do onicers not Enforce the Law

Why Do Officers not Enforce the Law.
EDS. RECORD UNION: There is a perfect
Doom in the business of the lottery ticket
sellers But it is fostered, egged on and
doomed by the lottery managers in New
Orleans. They have got down now to the
business of closing the mouths of the chief
papers of San Francisco with big advertise
ments, and even the drawings are tele-
graphed in full to this coast, a thing not
done for any other section, because here is
rich field for the lottery swindlers.
Nearly every cigar-stand in this city has
ticket for sale openly and without secresy
and agents hawk them upon the streets.
Twenty-Five per cent. is allowed agents for
their sales, and this with the vast cost of
advertising and telegraphing, gives you
some idea of the immensely of the profits
of the concern, and the hugeness of the
swindle. When it is told me that lottery
gambling cannot be suppressed, with the
law in the Penal Code forbidding the sale
OF tickets, reply that means that the Off
GERS of the law cannot discover these open
and bold sales of which no hiding is made
whatever. Oh. how absurd Who pre-
vents the officers acting? Whit Court has
ever refused to entertain a case? Name, if
any one can, case il which a jury has
refused to convict? What protest by any
body of our people has been made against
arresting the ticket sellers? Where is the
evidence, Messrs. Editors, to be found that
the people demand the law shall become a
dead letter? How comes it now that in
San Francisco arrests are made penaities
applied, and in every case conviction is
had, and that new ordinances are being
adopted to make the offense more heinous,
while in this Capital city neither the City
Attorney District Attorney, Chief of Po-
lice nor Police Commissioners make any
effort to enforce the law? How is it that
these gentlemen are unaware of the viola
ton of the law, when they cannot walk the
streets without the evidence of it staring
them in their faces? The so-called impos
sibiiity of enforcing the law is sham and
a fraud upon good government. Punish
for the sale of tickets, for the advertising of
the swindle in the newspapers, and all
this so called lottery craze will die out.
Sit idly by and permit the law to be defied,
make no effort to test it, and what sort of a
city government have we TO present to new
corners with families OF children TO bring
up? What are some of our people about
who pretend to be so bold for all that is
good? Why don't they try to stop this
evil that is corrupting even our school
children, who are saving dimes TO buy
coupons" WITH them? What sort of a
people are we anyway, Messrs. Editors to
let this thing go on in the teeth of the
criminal laws? L. l..

The Incoming Rabbit Pest.

A correspondent Of the San Francisco
Bulletin writes to that Journal under date
of yesterday, as follows:
1t is stated that vessel on the way to
this port has some Australian rabbits on
board. l can scarcely believe it, because
only an enemy TO California would think
of turning loose in this State such all ac-
cursed pest. In the United States consular
reports for December, 1856, No. ~, Consul
General Morgan says: q large landed
proprietor in the Western District of Vic
toria about 1860 imported them for sport.
From the Western District they spread to
the stony rises between Colac and Camper
day. They multiplied with such
rapidity as to literally overrun that portion
of country. 1t is doubtful whether
any persons are aware of the immense loss
that has been sustained in this colony
through the ravageS of the rabbit, but il is
an undoubted fact that $4,000 has been
expended to clear one estate and keep the
pests under, and in many others it has cost
the owners large sums, from $4,000
downward. In the discussion
in the Parliament on the introduction of
the late Male Pastoral Leases Act it
was clearly pointed out that the country
(12,000000 acres) affected by the bill had
habitable through the damage caused by
this ruthless invader. Stations on which
smiling homesteads, fine orchards and
other Improvements had few years back
existed were fallen into ruin and deserted
by all living creatures except the rabbits.
During the past three years the
Government has expended about S150000
in Victoria on the extirpation of the lab
bitt. From reports published a
various times in the papers and inquiries
made the number of rabbits destroyed has
been considerable, at least 1874 900 scalps
and ears and skins being paid for in less
than two years. The sum voted
this year by Parliament for rabbit extirpa-
ton is $4,000, and l learn from Sydney
papers that in New South Wales no less than
$4,000 has been voted for the same
work, and in South Australia the sum
is $l50,O00. 1t can be asserted on
good grounds that one pair of rabbits will.
under most favorable circumstances, in
crease in two and one-half years to the
enormous number of two millions
l am informed by Hon. A. Morrach, Secre-
tary for Lands, that there are above five
hundred miles of rabbit proof wire net
fencing erected in this colony of Victoria
at an average cost of S400 per mile
The estimated damage by rabbits would be
difficult to ascertain, but it may be safely
stated that during the last ten years the
loss caused by the pest through decrease in
carrying capabilities of land, destruction of
crops, loss of rents, etc would amount to
at least SIS, 100000"
l wish simply to add to the above that
my own observations while in the Austria
liam colonies confirmed the statement OF
the terrible destructiveness of these pests.
The Legislature is now in session, and it
cannot do better than to pass an "Exclu-
sion Act If it is true that these rabbits
are on the way, prompt and immediate
action is necessary, but in any event such
a bill would be a wise precautionary meas
ure to pass.

SAYS the legislative correspondent of
the San Francisco Post in treating the
issue raised by the Walrath bill: "Sec-
ton of the bill says the dams shall re-
strain all mining debris not carried in
suspension The valley people claim that
the material carried in suspension is the
slickens they complain of and the material
that has wrought ruin to the valleys"
Claim? 1t is fact, demonstrate to the
sense of sight and feeling; and it is amaz-
ing that any one can entertain any doubt
concerning it. Whoever wishes to ascer-
tain the exact truth relative to that matter,
can do so by the most ordinary of investi-
cations. and in an hours time.

IT is stated that one of the effects of the
enforcement of the interstate commerce

seven-tenths of the so-called star-oombina-

A CORRESPONDENT calls attention to the
shameless defiance in this city of the law
prohibiting the sale Of lottery tickets, and
asks numerous questions that ought to
bring the color Of shame to official cheeks.
Bnt this open and unconcerned infraction
of clear and unmistakable penal statute
is not whit more shameful than will be
the refusal or failure of the Legislature to
pass Cars bill to define lottery adver-
Using If the gentlemen invested with
legislative authority at the Capitol decline
or neglect to act upon the bill, it will
amount to approval by them of lottery
gaming, and a confession that they are
content that the Louisiana and like swim
dies shall defy the laws, corrupt the COM
munity and export of the wages of labor
in California hundreds of thousands of
dollars annually. If any reasonable OBJ
lection TO the bill can be stated by any
member Of either house, or any reason ad-
vanced why it should not become law, he
can occupy needed space in these columns
to advance such objections and reasons.
There are none not word can be said in
defense of the shameful violation of the
law in California, and the contempt with
which Section 800 of the Penal Code is
treated, or the stubborn refusal of the Off
GERS of the law to even test its virtue.
